Riitta Ikonen I


Ritta Ikonen is a Finish artist living in London, she trained in illustration at Brighton but grew up with a sewing machine. Her work is unique and very inspiring as she creates costumes that then become performance pieces and are recorded and exhibited through photography to highlight ecological and environmental issues.
